Intervention: Overcoming the impossible.

When the people we love are on the destructive road of addiction, the wake of pain and chaos impacts not only the Addict and Alcoholic, it affects the family too.

Sometimes our loved ones fall so deep into the pit of addiction, only professional help and extreme measures can pull them from the grips of hopelessness and despair. Our attempts at getting help for the loved one have failed, life spirals out of control, and when circumstances seem like they cannot get any worse, they do.

Consequences become more devastating, impacting every facet of life. Jails and institutions seem like a viable option just to make our loved one stop following this path. With the ever-present fear of death and loss, we look to Interventions to bring the family together, motivate change, and provide a choice to find the path to recovery.

The choice that leads to freedom

The choice is black and white, it is life and death. Intervention gives us the opportunity to break the chains of being part of our loved ones downfall.

We provide the power to choose a life with opportunity, to turn things around, rebuild relationships, and begin the journey of recovery. As family and friends, we love and care for our person in need, but we will no longer participate or be spectators in the destruction of their life.

When we no longer provide resources and support to our loved one they find themselves truly on their own. There is no one to enable them, no one to carry them, and no one to live in misery with. We give them the option to get the help of an army to help fight for their life, or be captain and crew on a sinking ship. We are not turning away from them, we help make the decision that is wanted and needed, and begin the journey that leads to freedom.

Intervention is a team effort, and can be overwhelming for a family who is trying to figure out how to help their loved one, and find it difficult to see things objectively. Clean Path Recovery has trained professionals who are committed to helping your loved one achieve what may seem like the impossible.

We understand that your loved one is sick, and healing deep wounds takes time. We will help to create a renewed sense of hope, happiness and purpose in life, and build a strong foundation for recovery.

How does intervention work?

An intervention is a collaborative attempt by family members, friends, and usually licensed professionals to empower the suffering loved one to seek professional help. It creates a strong unified front that represents the best interests and well being of the loved one.

Intervention provides structure and clear boundaries, no matter the outcome. It educates and enables the changes necessary to overcome and end the vicious cycle of addiction.

Where do we start?

Contact us and one of our nationally certified interventionists will help you through the whole process.

Our interventionist will take you through a screening, and get you started on the first steps of the intervention.

Treatment for the Individual

From the first point of contact through the entirety of the treatment process, our interventionist provides a specific treatment plan that will give your loved one a solid basis for the first year of recovery.

Throughout intervention planning and rehearsal, it is the interventionist’s job to prepare the family and friends for all possible outcomes and appropriate follow-up plans. The secondary objective is to educate and motivate families and friends to participate in the recovery process by attending a family program and an outside 12 step program.

We examine how working a recovery program can rebuild relationships and create an environment that reduces the probability of relapse. Special attention is given to the practice of setting and enforcing healthy boundaries.

Intervention Methods used by Clean Path Recovery:

• Johnson Intervention Model
• The Arise Intervention Model
• Invitational Intervention Model  
• Systematic Intervention Model (family systems)

Intervention Aftermath

A successful intervention is not determined by whether a loved one goes to treatment or not. Success is when the opportunity is presented to make a choice to change. Clear boundaries are set and our loved one knows that they have the power to start taking steps to healing.

Sometimes our loved ones are not ready to face reality, or they don’t believe that family will maintain the set boundaries. This is the most critical time of intervention, when motivation for change sinks in and the road of addiction hits its rockiest point. Usually, the road to recovery becomes much more appealing, and the choice becomes easy.

Detoxification

Detoxification or “Detox” is an essential beginning on the road to recovery and Clean Path Recovery can assist you or your loved one with placement at one of our preferred providers Detox Facilities.  Detoxification from drugs and alcohol helps to provide a sound foundation for the treatment process.

From the Beginning

When you arrive at our facility, a thorough initial intake will be completed.  Depending on the drug of choice and the length of use will help us to determine the duration of time the detoxification process will take.  Usually this process can be completed in as little as three to five days.

Next Step

You will be fully evaluated by a Medical Doctor to assist you during the detoxification process.  Detox does not have to be uncomfortable and Clean Path Recovery will assure that it isn’t. Our Doctor will prescribe you the medication you will need in order to be comfortable, relaxed and stable during this process.

Individual treatment plans are a therapeutic road map on the recovery journey. Our qualified and empathetic case managers provide the step by step process of rebuilding lives in recovery.

Each client is given the individual support and attention to meet their unique needs. The treatment plan becomes the backbone of the treatment process and serves as a self advocacy tool for the client.

Biosound Therapy : One of the major benefits in participating in Biosound Therapy at Clean Path Recovery is the calming effect the system has on the body. Biosound helps diminish the racing thoughts you may be experiencing by using music therapy to assist bringing you into a meditative state, which usually takes about 15 min.

The music therapy is composed with binaural beats and special healing frequencies that help trigger the body’s natural relaxation response. Research in music therapy suggests it has become a motivating resource for people to become engaged in their treatment and has become a popular holistic method for treating depression and anxiety.

Once you reach this meditative state then a powerful guided meditation embedded with positive affirmations will be played to further your enjoyment and participation. The guided imagery selections are designed to address the guilt, fear, shame and trauma associated as underlying issues for most dealing with addiction. These moving meditations begin with a journey to a completely relaxed state of mind. Then, utilizing a unique echo effect, powerful and positive affirmations are delivered. This combination helps you overcome those deep rooted, negative patterns of thought and behavior. From there an inspirational video will be played to finish out the session.

Seeking Additional Help in Early Recovery

Many individuals experience psychological conditions while struggling with their addiction. Some may be aware of these feelings and behaviors and seek the additional help they need, while others may not. Some try and interpret these feelings on their own or just choose to ignore them.  Ignoring these feelings and behaviors during your early recovery can lead to relapse.

If you’re considering treatment for a substance abuse problem, psychological evaluations can help to better develop a treatment plan and assist our clinical team in understanding your vantage point.  Clean Path Recovery is happy to facilitate Psychological assessments to better guide the course of your treatment and can only be advantageous to your recovery.

Strength in Numbers

Therapy can provide a safe space for the recovering addict to experience past and present feelings is an empathetic and non-judgmental setting. Clean Path Recovery provides intensive individual therapy and therapy groups.

The natural urge for human beings to assemble together makes group therapy a powerful therapeutic tool for treating substance abuse. Group Therapy has many rewarding benefits—such as reducing isolation and enabling participants to witness the recovery of others—and these qualities draw clients into a culture of recovery.

Another reason groups work so well is that they are suitable especially for treating problems that commonly accompany substance abuse, such as depression, isolation, and shame.

One-on-One

Isn’t just a basketball game.  Individualized therapy along with meetings with your assigned case manager can help to uncover some of the feelings and behaviors you may find it hard to share or might be afraid to share, while in the group setting.  We believe that looking at all of the underlying feelings and behaviors that lead us to using drugs and alcohol provides fast and effective recovery from addiction.

Another reason why Clean Path Recovery offers both of these invaluable tools to put into your tool box.
